Mark Hamill to Reprise Former Role on The Flash

The beloved Star Wars actor will reprise his role as James Jesse (aka the Trickster) on an upcoming episode of The CW smash. Hamill portrayed this character during the short-lived Flash series on CBS in the 1990s.

Hit Fix first reported this casting nugget.

John Wesley Shipp, of course, played the title character in that version of the show - and is now on board The Flash Season 1 as Barry Allen’s imprisoned father.

Look for Hamill to interact with Shipp, as this new interpretation of The Trickster will be an anarchist terrorist who is serving a life sentence and who works with Barry and Detective West to bring down a “wannabe Tricker,” according to the official character bio.

One mystery I cannot figure out is why some people come into our lives and why some people go. Others become a part of you. Some friendships feel like they'll last forever and others end far too soon. Not every friendship is meant to last forever. What does last forever is the pain when that person is gone.

Barry: I love you, Iris.Iris: Oh. I love you, too.Barry: When we were kids I loved you before I even know what the word love meant and then my mom died and I had to go live with the girl I had a crush on. Look. There were so many times I wanted to tell you; Jr. Prom, when I went away to college, when I came back from college, nights that we stayed up talking, all the birthdays, all the Christmases, but I, I never did. I kept it in. After I lost my mom and my dad, I was afraid that if you didn't feel the same way, I would lose you, too. That's the irony. I was so scared of losing you that I did. I know I've had our whole lives to tell you this and you're with Eddie now and I know that and I know my timing couldn't be any worse, but I just... I couldn't lie to you anymore. I'm sorry.
